Private Dining

A private event held at LULU is always an event to remember. Our interior dining space can be divided to suit the needs of your private party, with seating available up to 500 guests. We have developed several menus to choose from, each coordinated with large, varied parties in mind.

Big wobbly table on the top floor - it was so hot up there - several tables complained about the heat - air conditioning came on onceThe table was right next to the server entrance to the kitchen and kept running into our chairs We were moved to a better tableEveryone enjoyed their food - however our cocktails came after the entreesI understand they were very busy but they should know by now how to handle a busy night

Had a reservation for 4:45, requesting the patio. Checked in, sat for 15 minutes waiting for a table, and they started leading us inside the restaurant. I stated that I had asked for a patio table, and was told That I could wait, but it would be at least another 30 to 45 minutes. It was a friends birthday dinner, so we left and went somewhere else. Very disappointed in the entire experience.

Once again, our experience with the food, service and overall evening was great! We love this place and will be back again and again!We do, however, have one ONGOING complaint which is with the front hostess desk. This has happened on all 3 visits...this one was the worst---there were 4 hostesses and a server at the front desk and NOT ONE greeted us because all 5 were "helping" one guest. We waited nearly 10 minutes for us to even be acknowledged. And, it wasn't as though the lobby was busy, this was at 4:00 on Thursday, Feb 15th and there were only 2 of us in line. We are hoping that the management (by the way, which is wonderful) could address the efficiency at the front desk, it would have made our visit a 5 star!! Thank you,Linda & Doug

Valentine's pre-fixe dinner was wonderful - just surprised when the bill came with 20% added and did not note that before we ordered -a bit of a shock to us - as this was an additional $20.00 at least mention it before it never aid tip included on the bill or will be added?? Bad customer service in this area... otherwise we will come back.. Frank & Mike from Toronto

Our second day back in town I had sprained my ankle and needed some where close by that we could get to i with the wheelchair that our hotel had let us use.. with my husbands Seeing Eye dog in tow. The restaurant staff was very welcoming and helpful. A special thank you to our server Samantha who pushed my chair back across Indian Canyon Drive.. the 3 course meal menu is always a great deal at Lulu’s

Great to watch street people but food was very mediocre and service was thrown at you and most dishes were just passable. Good bar scene and adequate food but not for dining or anyone looking for a nice meal.

Lulu's is an absolute must when in Palm Springs. It's impossible to walk into Lulu's and not feel the energetic vibe. The room is huge with impossibly high ceilings and tons of vibrant colors and art. We both started with the beet salad which was tasty and well-plated and I highly recommend the scallops; which looked like a huge serving that I thought I'd never finish but was so delicious that I cleaned my plate. Hubby recommends the meatloaf which he diplomatically said was very good -- but not as good as mine. Smart husband.

The mushroom soup was not up to par! No truffle oil taste. Not very savory. Such a disappointment when we we were both craving it! The rest of the meal ( duck, fish, cappucino ice cream) were very good, as usual. Overall nice.

This is the very first time I’ve ever responded to a dining survey. My wife and I dine out all over the country and are here for the winter. We had heard good things about LuLus, but came away very disappointed . Perhaps it was on off night?

I have been here multiple times and had a great experience. I came most recently for my birthday, and because it was a Saturday night I made sure to make reservations. You can get dinner because they do their best to be accommodating and quick if you don't have a reservation. If you can though I suggest making a reservation.

I requested one of the white booths and they made it happen- even on a Saturday night!! On top of that they had a little fun and tricked me and my friends into thinking they were out of the amazing cotton candy they have, and ended up bringing a big and perfectly spun cotton candy with a candle!

The food is amazing, especially the Ahi Tuna on Crispy Won-ton Tostadas appetizer. I could eat those and those alone for the rest of my life and never complain. I'm not kidding.
